µþ±ð²â´Ç²Ô³¦Ã©'s Cowboy Carter Tour was the most successful tour in 2025, with a gross of over 407.6 million U.S. dollars. This was despite playing the least amount of shows compared to the others. Shakira, who ranked fifth, played 64 shows, grossing around 320.2 million dollars.

Taylor Swift and µþ±ð²â´Ç²Ô³¦Ã© dominate domestic live music market

Taylor Swift in 2024 and µþ±ð²â´Ç²Ô³¦Ã© in 2025 were the only women who have led the ranking of most successful worldwide tours, and also came out on top in their home-ground market. In fact, looking at the gross revenues of their music tours in North America, it is clear that by far the biggest share of their worldwide gross revenue originates from concerts given in that region of the globe. However, this is also true for other artists that made in into the global Top 10: Drake's live music revenues come exclusively from North America, while Morgan Wallen's share stood around 97 percent.

Concerts in 2024 raised the roof of the industry's revenue

The overall revenues from the top 100 worldwide tours also reached an historic amount in 2024. Ignoring 2020 and 2021, when the pandemic made these tour revenues plummet, revenues had been growing year by year. Yet, figures from pre-pandemic years strongly suggest that this growth was in the risk of stagnation. By contrast, the growth between 2022 and 2024 has gone through the roof, with total revenues from the most successful worldwide tours grossing a record 9.5 billion U.S. dollars in 2024, marking a historic year for live entertainment. This has slown down in 2025, but still exceeds pre-pandemic figures.
